Ashton and Short spearhead 7s challenge

Chris Ashton and James Short will spearhead the Saracens challenge in the JP Morgan Premiership Rugby 7s at Allianz Park on Saturday.

Ashton, the England wing, and Short, the leading try-scorer in the competition, will provide the pace on the wings as Saracens meet the challenge of Harlequins, Wasps and London Irish. The action starts at 19h15 on Saturday evening with tickets available both on line and on the gate.

“Sevens is growing at an amazing rate around the world,” said Ashton. “It’s a fantastic spectacle, and Allianz Park will be the perfect venue.”
